A head is a small part of the body’s mass. Shoot a 1/2 gallon milk jug with a high powered rifle and watch all the movement. This moves from a strict momentum problem back into a problem involving energy being transferred from the bullet to the water. Brain tissue behaves very similarly to water when struck by bullets..

I was told in CHL class that courts don't usually like head shots. They feel it's excessive force
